Although no photos of the alleged gunman have been made public, investigative efforts have uncovered this picture of the suspect as a child. Initial reports say it may shed light on motive, but no other details have been released.

There's something happening hereBut what it is ain't exactly clearThere's a man with a gun over thereTelling me I got to bewareI think it's time we stopChildren, what's that sound?Everybody look - what's going down?

lostcat:OK, now I feel weird beause when I started posting stupid stuff in this thread that guy was still alive, and now a few minutes later, I'm still sitting here at work and that guy is dead. That's kind of depressing.

Too bad there wasn't a non-lethal option for getting control of the situation. Everyone has bad days and stupid ideas.

My least intelligent ideas, even if executed upon my most miserable days, would not result in me being justifiably shot by a law enforcement agent.

Oh, so the firefighters are finally getting a taste of how it feels and they don't like it? Boo-hoo, why don't you go cry all over another innocent fire? It's about time someone stood up for fire. Keep fighting the good fight, firefighterfighter!

Rhino_man:In before "Gun grabbers don't want to talk about mental health" derpers who never actually propose any changes to the mental health system.

OR they'll propose some labyrinthe and draconian licensing, training, and regulatory regime that they pass off as minor and perfectly reasonable.

If only he had to undergo 2 cat scans, multiple psychological exams,$50/year licensing, fingerprinting, purchase a drill proof, fire proof safe, undergo police academy training, be embedded with the Army for 6 months, get written references from 15 neighbors, and fill out a 20 page life history dossier, none of those would have happened.
